Hello. Would like to share some information to those that attended the Canon 2009 Photomarathon.

Please scan your memory card as some of the laptop seems to be infected with a virus.
There is another thread talking regarding this virus, and I am also affected by this virus. :angry:

url to the other clubsnap thread: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=587039&highlight=photomarathon

Please spread the word and format your card to be safe!

Yeah, my friend transferred his and one of his shot became corrupted! :sweat:

I am also very disappointed with how they managed our memory cards.

After copying into their laptop, they just pluck out the memory card without even Click on 'Safely Remove Hardware'. What happens if the card is still in the reading process, there goes my memory card.

These people should be trained to handle things properly instead of just employing them to copy files without proper usage knowledge.

Precisely!!! I transferred twice today and TWICE they did that!!! ;( Earlier scanned my 8GB Extreme III for any errors and found none, now doing a deep system scan together with my laptop drives.

If anything were to happen to my CF card i'll hold them responsible.

Luckily i installed spyware and antivirus to stop these virus in time. Otherwise I don't know what will happen to my clients photo!!!

Dunno the virus come from where one. I think more or less most of the Toshiba laptops have it.

true true i agree , even my little cousin 5 years old can do things better than them, this could be because they have a certain time limit to adhere to(imo) ! furthermore i think the judging was

my memory card has been detected with trojan and i think it spread and affected most people cause their coms were networked?

That's also part of the reason why i never bothered to take part in these photomarathons. I just go there accompany friends and shoot for fun.

Just quarantine or remove the trojan entirely.
